Since the war first began, California, as the No. . Farm State in the Union, has played a major part in the critically important food for victory carnpaign, surpassing all production peaks of former years despite seemingly insuperable _ problems. Closest to the battle lines, with millions of additional troops being shifted to the Pacific, this state is now asked to break its own records in production, so that the nation’s supply lines for its armed forces will be as short as possible and the strain on the country’s transportation system will be lightened. ; During 1944, the Women's Land Army did a splendid job in California harvest fields). Women farm volunteers and regular seasonal workers filled more than 70,000 farm jobs. City volunteers—men, women and youngsters—accounted for 18,985 jobs, and regular seasonal workers from smaller towns in agricultural areas filled 52,246 farm jobs. That patriotic achievement not only needs to be duplicated this year; it must be surpassed, for more farm boys have entered the armed forces, fewer Mexican farm workers are available—and the need for stepped-up food production is daily becoming more.urgent. If you have a vacation coming, give it to Uncle Sam; help out in the harvest, not just for the dollars you'll earn, but because more food will shorten the war and save the lives of countless American fighting men. —Contributed. PRESIDENTIAL STAND-IN On the occasion of his first trip west as president of the United’ States, to address the United Nations conference in California, Harry Truman must have felt both relief and gratification. He must have noticed the climbing marometer of public respect for his handling of the most difficult problems ever to confront a president in the first days of his office. His request to congress, voiced at the beginning of his journey west, for a change in the presidential succession, placing an elected official rather than a presidential appointee in line after the vice president, won vast public approval:-Under the present system with the secretary of state next on the list, a president conceivably might select his own successor. Most observers agree that a safer and more logical choice would be the speaker of the house, an elected officer. __ If congress reacts to the public desire, we believe it will move with dispatch on Truman's request. And while we sincerely hope and believe that the president will live out the tem to which he fell heir in such momentous times. we think. the competent Sam Rayburn, speaker of the house, had better start his grooming like any good stand-in for the star performer in the main act—because it’s a fair prediction the new procedure will give tlh« --eaker second billing in the big national drama.—Contributed. : “GREATEST STATE IN THE UNION” . We always like to have our guests speak well of us. Hence it was music to our ears when Herbert V. Evatt, the Australian foreign minister, took time out from the serious business of the United Nations conference last week to extoll California as one of the rarest jewels in America’s diadem. We liked that and immediately put him down in our book as one of the world statesmen most likely to succeed. He made one statement, however, which puzzles us. Said Evatt: “In not so many years this probably will be the greatest state of the United States.” That future tense is what bothers us. Every Californian knows of course that this is the greatest state in the United States, and we have been modestly advertising this fact almost since the days of the gold rush, so that other people might come here and share our good fortune. Evatt, though, may be excused, as he was guilty of nothing more serious than an unfornnate use of words. What he meant to say, without doubt, was that we would soon be the biggest state in the Union, numerically, which happens to be one of our post war objectives. Anyway, we lige Evatt and if Australia doesn’t do right by him, we hope he returns here and joins our Chamber of Commerce.—-Contributed. doubtless THE GENERAL AND THE G.
